Sara Evans' sweet voice has earned her many a hit song. It's also given her the ability to sing many a song that captures love in an amazing way. So, it seems only fitting that she lead off the this list (Though it is hardly the last time her name will be seen on this list). Tonight is, as Sara describes it, just a really sexy song. It's a song about that night that just goes right in every way possible. It's a love song that could definitely be classified in the "Let's Get It On" genre of love songs, but Sara gives it that sweet touch that is typical of her music. She does an great job on this song.
Kenny Chesney's career was built on love songs. All you have to do is look at his greatest hits disc released in 2000 to see that (13 of the 17 tracks are written about love in one way or another). Since then, however, Kenny's hit songs have branched out a bit, with a lot of fun-loving songs and a few more serious songs. However, he definitely still has the touch when it comes to writing love songs. Anything But Mine, off the 2003 release When The Sun Goes Down, is a pretty good example of that. The song is about a guy who's leaving town in the morning. However, he simply won't leave without letting his woman know that she is his, and he doesn't think he could ever see it any other way. It's simple proof that Kenny can still write the love song.
Kids get a lot of things right. In this song, they get love right. Check Yes Or No is based on the child's way of doing the "love scene." Almost everyone can remember writing a note to the guy or girl they liked in grade school asking them whether they liked them, and making those two check boxes to check yes or no. Far-fetched as it may seem, in this song, that is how a love that sprouts a long and loving marraige begins. The song is very nostalgic, which is likely what gives it some of it's allure.
Love is not always about the big things. A lot of the time, it's about just enjoying the Little Moments in life that make love truly great. That's what prompted Brad Paisley to write a song about those little moments. Those things that so many people tend to gloss over or not think about all that much are the things tha make love truly wonderful and enjoyable. It's comforting your spouse in a time of need. It's laughing at a little slip of the tongue. It's the numbness in your arm that feels so great when you see that person sleeping on that arm. It's little things like these that make love great and made this song a success.
Sometimes a love song is simply about telling someone how truly infatuated you are with them. Garth Brooks definitely thought so when writing Wrapped Up In You. The song is simply an ode to the person you love. The entire song is about how much that loved one is needed, wanted and loved by you. It's a song about being completely and utterly wrapped up in someone because of the love they give to you and the love you feel for them.
